Addressing Other Issues
 

The American Gaming Association (AGA) has announced a change in the Association’s Board of Directors members. Namely, the MGM is changing it’s representation on the Board as Terri Lanni has resigned his position. The MGM though is a major force in the land casino gambling industry and the company will still maintain an alliance with the AGA. Lanni though is a top executive for the company who is looking to use the time spent on the AGA board to address more pressing issues – some of which involve developing an online casino gambling industry within the United States.

Many of the land gambling companies that are AGA members have expressed a strong interest in launching U.S. facing online casinos once all of the controversial federal legislation is settled. Congress passed the UGIEA online casino gambling ban in 2006 which has been met with much criticism all over the world. The AGA as an organization has no strong opinion either way on the internet gambling debate, and instead backs efforts to initiate a year-long government funded analysis of the potential revenue, market, and problems associated with licensing and regulating online casinos in the U.S.

As for the current issue at hand, Lanni remains in his position at the MGM and publicly asserts that his reasons for leaving the AGA Board are wholly personal and not because of political differences or the clashing of opinions. Instead Lanni plans to focus much of his time on addressing the increasing concerns of corporate diversity, among other pressing issues facing the land and future online casino gambling industry.
